Our experience here was fantastic. Food was great, people working there were so nice and welcoming, and the ambience is that of a truly traditional Lebanese restaurant. The Lebanese wine is a nice touch and also very good! Very good value for the money you spend as well. Will be coming back very soon!

One of the best restaurants in Portland. If you are vegan lots of choices. But the Lamb and chicken are excellent!
Annie
Another excellent experience with the best service and most delicious dinner. Each visit seems even better than the last, we don't know how you do it. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Love this place! Moe and Lydia make you feel like family. They remember what we can and cannot eat, the wine we like, and our family. It could be a week or it could be months. we are still greated joyfully and and made feel welcome. This restaurant and their amazing food has made me search out recipes and restaurants in other areas with similar foods. Moe and Lydia at Al Amir are always a win for quality, flavor, presentation and value! I only wished I lived closer π

In a historic building that used to be a Bishops residence, this cozy place could be in a side street in Beirut. The food is outstanding Middle East faire, with creamy hummus our go to starter. Traditional dishes with a homemade with care taste. The hosts make yiu feel like you're visiting their house! Dint forget the delicious Lebanese red wines from Chateau Kafrayah.
Opentable Diner
Our favorite restaurant in Portland. The food is authentic and amazing, the service is above and beyond and they treat you like family. Don't forget to try the Lebanese Margaritas. Bisahtek!!

Mo, the owner, graciously greeted us, personally seated us, and made sure that our visit was the very best. In addition, Mo arranged for a belly dancer for entertainment. It made the night that much richer Mo gave us free dessert as it was my girlfriend's birthday celebration. What a wonderful dinner!

Excellent dinner and service. Al-Amir never disappoints and is wonderful each time we visit. Each family member we bring along is impressed with the cuisine and attentive service. Thank you for another superb evening!

I got the lamb, kharouf mohammar. Meat was delicious and plenty, the yoghurt was good, and the owner/host was friendly. What's not to like?!

INCREDIBLE VEGAN OPTIONS!!! Best vegan friendly place in NW Portland hands down. Not to mention the staff is incredible and so so so sweet. Itβs rare to find a vegan option in downtown Portland and this place is such a gem! Highly recommend:)
Came here on a whim to try a new place and was incredibly impressed. I donβt always love eating out because if the food isnβt cooked in a healthy way (too oily, salty, etc) it leaves me feeling bad. This place was NOT THAT.
It was delicious, healthy, authentic food! It all tasted great. We told our waitress (who was also the owner) that it was our first time and she took great care of us, teaching us about the dishes and giving us a great experience. These small businesses are what make Portland great and unique! Give it a try!!
The area is going through a rough time, so all the more important to support them. Will 100% be back!
